hiking

Grab your hiking shoes, because you're going to want to check out this magnificent hiking trail just a few miles north of Rockford in Janesville.

I grew up in Missouri thinking it was just a state next to the Mississippi River. Boy, was I wrong. As it turns out, Missouri is also a 14,000 foot mountain in Colorado. They should teach this in school.

This is sad on so many levels. A St. Louis man has died while taking a hike in the Badlands of South Dakota that was part of a challenge offered on social media.

When you mention "Garden of the Gods", most people will think of Colorado Springs for good reason. However, there is a "Garden of the Gods" in Illinois and new drone video shows why it is also a must-visit destination.

The bridge takes you to places you didn't know existed. Ancient places that time seems to have forgotten, plus caves and waterfalls.

Are you up for a weekend trip? If so, I have an idea in the Ozarks where one hike will take you by 6 sweet waterfalls and they're not hard to reach at all.

There aren't many locations that allow you to walk up to the edge of a waterfall, but that's exactly what's possible in the Illinois Ozarks.

Nature lovers, rejoice! The Indiana Department of Natural Resources has an interactive trail map to help you find your next hike.
